  • 19 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 8 (6 inch) corn tortillas
 
Directions
Preheat a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini and jalapeno to the oil and sprinkle with the salt. Sauté for about 7 minutes, until the zucchini is lightly browned. Add the garlic and olives and sauté for 2 minutes more.
 
Add the salsa Verde and black beans. Cook for 5 more minutes; the salsa should reduce a bit so that it's juicy but not soupy.
